Samsung Q8F QLED 4K TV (65") vs Roku Select Series 65" 4K QLED TV

The Roku Select Series is the better pick for most people: it runs the simplest smart TV interface, supports Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri, and has four HDMI ports. The Samsung Q8F is the step up for picture quality, with a brighter QLED panel, a wider color range and Samsung's Vision AI processing. Reviewers rate both highly; the Roku edges ahead on owner satisfaction, while Samsung owners tend to praise the picture and complain about the remote and ads in Tizen.

  • Choose the Samsung Q8F if you care most about picture quality and want a brighter, more colorful panel with Samsung's processing and free live channels.
  • Choose the Roku Select Series if you want the easiest interface, voice control across all three major assistants and more HDMI inputs for the same screen size.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung Q8F. Its 120 Hz panel and lower input lag handle fast games better than the Roku's 60 Hz screen. The Roku is fine for casual play but shows more motion blur.
Which has the better picture?
The Samsung. Its QLED panel gets brighter and covers more color, so HDR highlights and bright rooms look better. The Roku is solid for the money but dimmer.
Which is easier to use?
The Roku. Roku OS puts your apps and free live TV on one home screen and the voice remote searches across them. Tizen is capable but busier, with more promoted content.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes if you watch a lot of HDR movies or play games and want the brighter panel and 120 Hz. If you mostly stream shows in a dim room, the Roku covers it well.
Which lasts longer?
Both should last years with normal use. Samsung has a longer track record in TVs and more service options; Roku TVs are built by partner manufacturers, so support varies by the set.
Do both support voice assistants?
The Roku works with Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri. The Samsung has Bixby and Alexa built in but not Siri or Google Assistant.
